    What’s up with BAT? It’s up 38%

    Posted: 25 Feb 2019 11:33 PM PST

    Can't seem to find any new news that would make it spike - nothing is in here or on their twitter.

    Has something happened like an exchange added pairs or something?

    Or perhaps a third party has announced they're going to be using bat?

    I hope this is not a quick pump and dump.

    With XRP pairs being officially added to Coinbase, is the legitimacy of XRP as a non security proven?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2019 10:27 AM PST

    correction: Coinbase Pro not regular Coinbase, The coinbase blog post however implies XRP launch on the main platform is a when not an if, and will be announced separately.

    Over the past two years a large part of this community has been very adamant about XRP ending up on Coinbase. The fact that it's not been listed yet has somehow been twisted into an argument for it being a security.

    With proof straight from the Coinbase blog that this is happening, will this argument finally be laid to rest? Or is Coinbase now risking their operations in the US by allowing dollars to be exchanged for unregulated securities? I know the arguments will be very divided so I'm looking forward to reading them.

    What are the biggest risks you currently see for the crypto market in 2019?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2019 05:42 PM PST

    I know this subreddit usually is about "positive" thinking, be my guest and downvote me, but I prefer to get an accurate picture of reality.

    Personally what still makes me hesitant:

    ​

    1. Tether, oh boy haven't we heard this now for about 1 ½ years. But for me it is still very, very, very risky to let Tether be the backbone of all liquidity in the crypto markets. If I am not mistaken, about 85 % of all volume for Bitcoin is in Tether.
      Do you guys remember this past fall when Tether broke it's peg and went below 90 cents, then redeemed $900 Million USDT, the price of Bitcoin crashed just shortly afterwards, and that crash did not look natural at all. The $6000 level looked as if it was artificially held.
      Then Tether announced on November 27th that they would make a redeemable system and would not be using Bitfinex as their proxy for USD <-> USDT anymore. However, not ONE redeemed USDT has been recorded besides Bitfinex since it's inception almost 3 months ago, you can see this here at the Treasury for Tether.
    2. Bitfinex, same old here too. The issues they've had with fiat withdrawals and their connections with companies such as Crypto Capital and Noble Bank does not look good, it looks very much alike QuadrigaCX.
    3. Mt.Gox redistribution of 150 000 + BTC, many crypto holders blamed Mt.Gox as the source for the 2018 crash, since they sold off 30 000 BTC. I think this was mostly a false narrative, however the proceedings with Mt.Gox is going forward and the BTC could start to get redistributed this year. Hopefully we will know more at March 20th when they will hold their next committee meeting.
    4. Market correlation and amount of dead/copied/irrational projects with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of valuation. This makes it hard to see like we're getting close to a rational market.
    5. Fake volume / Leverage trading / Market manipulation, this point goes hand in hand and explains some of the Bart action we get every now and then. Whales can enter leverage positions, then wash trade or simply buy on the market and profit their leverage trades. That's probably not going to be a good thing in the market, besides for the whales doing the manipulation.

    I also see great potential in crypto, but we discuss that 24/7, so I thought we could try to look at this market as objectively as possible.
    Hope you guys can fill in with more!

    PSA on Moon Browser Extension

    Posted: 25 Feb 2019 01:19 PM PST

    Dear members of the CryptoCurrency community,

    TL;DR: Uninstall Moon, Revoke your Coinbase API Keys NOW

    I was the co-founder and CTO at https://paywithmoon.com. Due to my discovery of the unethical business practices Moon Technologies, Inc. has been engaged in, I have left the company.

    As of today, the moon browser extension manipulates the DOM of the users' browsers to give them an augmented shopping experience, one that allows them to shop online with cryptocurrency. Over the past couple of months, my co-founder, Kenneth Kruger, has ordered the collection of data belonging to users as a way to improve customer experiences. No users have ever been asked explicitly if they would prefer to opt-out of tracking, a feature which I regularly insisted should be added. If you are a user and look under at terms and conditions stated under https://paywithmoon.com/terms-conditions/ (dated 26 Feb 2019), you will find the agreement hidden under one of the terms and conditions. This is a huge breach of GDPR and privacy laws that are meant to protect user data.

    From the moment a user installs the browser extension, the company will know exactly what pages are open on the user's browser, what the content of those pages are, and what the user is doing with them.

    The biggest and most alarming issue of all, is the process of collection of how the browser extension works in the backend - Coinbase API keys. From the moment the user initiates the connection between the company and Coinbase, the company watches for changes in the user's current window, waiting for the user to complete the one-time passcode (OTP) verification process as required by Coinbase. Once that is done, the company programatically clicks the required permissions (scopes) required to create the API key as it sees fit.

    The API key is then shown only once on the next screen, but the user does not know this (done via CSS manipulation). The company extracts the API keys into the backend, stored in plain text on the company's database on AWS. This is a definite security antipattern. This API key is then able to be used indefinitely until manually revoked by the individual user.

    When I asked Kenneth Kruger why we should not encrypt the keys or create recursively locking IAM policies to prevent anyone in the management team to have personal access to users' API keys, Kenneth Kruger constantly avoided or redirected the discussion and prevented me from building any kind of system that would protect users.

    Only two days ago, I have been locked out of my organization accounts including AWS and can no longer take preventive measures to protect users.

    If you are a user of our browser extension today, ***PLEASE*** you need to uninstall the browser extension via chrome://extensions and go into https://www.coinbase.com/settings/api and revoke ALL your API keys NOW.

    If you have not used the Moon browser extension, but know of a friend that might, please inform him or her to do so immediately.

    You can read more about my experience in another post here https://np.reddit.com/r/startups/comments/au668p/what_to_do_in_the_event_you_get_zuckerberged_in_a/.

    I had created Moon as I was crazy enough to think I was able to change the world with the single vision of bringing mass adoption to cryptocurrency, accelerating the future of the financial system. However, today is truly a sad day for crypto. Until we can find a way to completely decentralize and move away from the corporations, the no-accountability attitude and greed many executives possess, we cannot hope to bring forth the dream of cryptocurrency.

    Until we meet on the moon again, please be safe, not sorry,
    Alexander Ang

    Why do people not care about token economics?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2019 03:57 PM PST

    Analyzing coins, after verifying the project is legit, the leaders sane and the goals achievable, my main focus shifts towards how the success of the project actually transfers value between business case and token.

    Looking at the market and it's random pumps on news that do not relate to token value at all, I just can't quit asking myself, if I'm the one that is stupid or everyone else.

    ​

    Why are people buying coins just because a company has some nice partnerships or great products, but none of this actually matters for their token because it's not needed or used in their project?
    I looked into how some of the people on CT evaluate projects and most do not seem to care for the actual economic value of the coins they are buying.

    ​

    How do you evaluate projects? What projects with great tokenomics do you know?
    Please tell me that I'm not stupid :'(

    Holo, Holo Fuel & Holochain - Technical Discussion

    Posted: 25 Feb 2019 09:02 PM PST

    Use case, adoption rate, and price aside, What Cryptocurrency would you consider to be the most technologically advanced or has the best technical features?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2019 08:29 PM PST

    Strictly in relation to technical features or benefits only, especially in relation to developmental work and technological progress.

    Whether it be fully decentralized, proven 51% hash attack immune, energy efficient or hardware equalizing algorithm, unique algo, solves for theoretical problems like Nothing at Stake, quantum secure, combination consensus PoW/PoS, privacy/anonymity features, unique features or open source philosophy, anything along those lines.

    This is what's at the heart of each project, despite the hype. It isn't a popularity contest, just pure cold function. I'd be interested to hear what the best of the best can do, even if they're not in the top ten. Hype dies, tech evolves and grows.

    Please don't just list names. Please list the technical features or provide examples of the capabilities/benefits or what it is that sets your project apart.

    It appears that Warren Buffet cannot differentiate Bitcoin from any of the investments he has made in the past. His main gripe seems to be that BTC does not produce anything and therefore it has no value.
